happier and better if they had remained
single. Some, forthe good oil others, have
refused to become wives, and for so dong

is no disgrace for a woman to live and die

As spring approaches the thoughts oil our
ocal politicians begin to turn to the spring
elections. There are usually one or two
fairly profitable offices to be filled, ana
poodly number wherein honor is the chief
emolument, and mighty little of that, yet
there is usually lively scramble for places
on the ticket all the same. The new plan
of eleeting road overseers by road districts
will take from the township election much
of its zest, and relieve the election ofhcefs
of the necessity OF counting an infinite num-
Der of ''splits" when canvassng the vote,
and will also deprive the printers OF divers
and sundry jobs of printing ''split tickets
but on the other hand it will give to each
of the road districts lively little local
fight of its own. for be it known the posi-
ton of road overseer is regarded by many
as a ''bonanza' eagerly to be sought for
and chung to when found a Mayor and
two Councilmen to be elected in the Bor-
ough may or may not, as the case may be,
make music in the municipal limits.

1t is argued IN favor of high license
that it makes the liquor traffic more
respectable by wedding out the lower
grades of saloons. the keepers OF which
will not be able to pay the increased license
fee demanded AS to that, we believe 1t
rather has tendency to put premium on
violations of law and illegal sales of liquor
by the class that covet the profits of the
business unhampered by municipal tax.
As to making the business more respect
able we defy any system of regulation or
restriction to do that There is nothing
respectable about it and therefore no de-
gree or grade of responsibility connected
with it. One saloon may cater to wealth.
Ter. better dressed, better educated class OF
patrons than another, but when it comes
to the qualification of the appetite for rum
we make no distinction between the rum
seller in broadcloth and the hummer in
rags. They are on level in the fact that
they are pandering to depraved appetite,
and the men who hand out the liquid
poison to them, whether from gilded gin
palace or low doggery, are likewise on
level You can gild the traffic and veneer
it, and specifically cover up its defects,
but you can't make it respectable by high
license or any other device for postponing
the day of prohibition, any more than bur
gary can be made respectable by requiring
that every ''cracksman' shall wear swal
low-tail coat and silk hat, with other
things to correspond.

j. Walter Pancoast, in calling the atten-
ton of the Court previous to the going out
of the Grand jury at the late term, to the
subject of the violation of the bribery law
and requesting that the jury should be
charged upon the subject, did what every
citizen has an undoubted right to do, as is
evidenced by the fact that the Court
gave him a courteous hearing. Mr.. Pan
coasts reply to the query of Prose
cutor Shape as to who lie was, that
was happily put 1t is upon the ''citizens
of the county that the proper enforce
ment of the laws and the well being of the
community depend. IT is the misfortune
of Mr.. Pancoast's cause that the evil OF
which he complains, and to which he asked
the attention oi the Court, is so important
factor in the political arithmetic of both
the dominant parties that it seems practi-
cally useless for any appeal to be made to
Grand Juries. as at present constituted, to
investigate the matter. The proclamations
posted by the Sheriff in pursuance of the
State law prior to the annual elections. and
the manifestoes of the county Anti-Bribery
Association, of which Mr.. Pancoast and
other reputable citizens are members,
would lead to the conclusion that the crime
OF bribery was fearfully prevalent, while
the entire ignorance of successive Grand
Juries of any violation of the law in this
respect might lead to the opposite concln-
sion that Salem county was singnlariy
free from this class Of political corruption.
